[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 359340, member: 16749"] . The easiest way is a GPS unit that connects to your camera. [URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/GPS/GP-1A-GPS-Unit.html"]Nikon's GP-1a[/URL] is ridiculously overpriced, at just the far side of $300, but will do exactly what you're asking for here. Fortunately, there are a number of third-party knockoffs, at much more reasonable prices. About a year ago, I bought [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ESJ8MY/]this one[/url] for about $50, and I have not been dissatisfied with it.
